Wild Horses, Bison, and Gators. Gators are real. *Any suggestion to pet or swim with gators is a joke.

Your first step into Paynes Prairie @FLStateParks is the step of an explorer because centuries before, the same steps were trailblazed by people who are now only memories and because no 2 journeys through this Prairie are the same. More here 👉 buff.ly/3p4tIpW @BlazedRTs

An oldie, but a goodie. Unsuccessful predation attempt by an American #alligator on a great blue #heron caught on #cameratrap at Paynes Prairie Preserve @FLStateParks... Part of @UFWildlife research on #Florida #wildlife corridors... @UF_IFAS @UFatWork @Bushnell @Trailcampro
